    Awesome dude! I ride much more common Jamis Renegade s3 (steel and quite heavy gravel bike) but the reason is there is almost no sleek roads here in Siberia. Subcribed anyway) Keep doing videos!

    I think it should be mandatory for these bikes to have DRL at the front. They are extremely fast and their slick design makes them literally invisible.

    • @benridingbikes
      @benridingbikes 2 місяці тому

      I actually run a DRL front and rear every ride. However, the bike may have a “slick design” but the rider doesn’t. I would urge you to maintain full concentration when driving, and respect all other road users (motorbikes, tractors, cyclists, horses, etc) thank you and drive safe!
